Welcome to Canis Major

a wolf and animal rpg (role-playing game)

Canis is a writing community for play-by-post (forum-based), freeform roleplay set in a fictional dream world in the intrusion fantasy genre. Most characters on Canis are wolves; many play elements are focused around wolves and canids, but the world makes room for a large variety of other animal characters such as dogs, horses, cats, bears, deer, and many, many more.

Our community is focused on flexibility, creativity, and collaboration. That boils down to a few important features:

  • There is no set activity requirement to write
  • The setting and plot are member-created and staff-supported
  • The game is continuously improved to increase fun and decrease stress

Salem was an idiot. He was not stupid in actuality, and while he looked like more brawn over brains, there weren't many screws loose in his head. It was more the decisions he made, and the explanations that inevitably would follow should they be needed.

As a man with a passion, it didn't just quiet in a new body or a new world, it was there still—teeming beneath the surface of his skin. The manners in which it was dabbled upon, well that... that left him with enough of a high to satiate even the strongest of men. It was in the midst of his flee from one of the larger docile animals that Salem ran across another.

Though his gruff laughter wasn't quick to die, it was with a soft seriousness that he found himself greeting the other. Salem's heavy footfall died to a light patter as he slowed, the green a lush pelt beneath his steps. His head tilted in a curious manner as he watched. “You lookin' for somethin' specific?”

salem might’ve passed a lot in his haste to god-knows-where but he’d barely paid anything else much heed. too much to look at, too much to see, too much he didn’t even know. somethin’ so small like that? tsk, he can barely see two steps in front of him. “Nah, I ain’t see none’a that. But I can look with ya’. Ain’t no skin off my back.” what else would he do? chase down somethin’ else lookin’ like a bull? he ain’t wish to get killed so soon already. and he might’ve disrupted a herd, that was something he’d need to wait to pursue again. wait to even…get near them things again.

“wintergreen? what you needin’ them for?” not that he knew what they were used for anyways, but he was a nosy stick. if he was lookin’ for it too, he might as well know that he ain’t abettin’ somethin’ bad. his tone dragged distractedly as he searched—not that he knew what he was doin’. this whole wolf thing was still new to him, but he wasn’t about to bring that up.

plants? he knew they grew from the ground, knew they got colors—different ones—but finding out what they do, that wasn’t for him. he’d listen though, if this man decided it was time for a lesson. ain’t no shame in learnin’, and he wasn’t the smartest.

“you collect em’?” he asked as he spotted a tint of purple, the rustle of his steps displaying his eagerness to find what the other was lookin’ for.
